@hammer_chess @W6Centre The summer hols are on us soon and the inevitable cries of “Mum, I’m bored” looming. There are few better ways to keep children occupied. Mindsports (bridge, chess, go and more) develop memory and concentration and provide endless hours of free, stimulating entertainment.

@hammer_chess @W6Centre Following on from the taster session, there is a beginners course starting on June 1st. David Parry says: "We have two very bright young men aged 13 coming. If you have children of this age and would like to bring them along, then there is still time to enrol." Adults too!

Everyone (18+) is welcome to attend the FREE Bridge taster session on Tuesday 16th May - see more & sign up here: forms.gle/2yqqYEc4QCCLpH… #Bridge #WhyNot #NewExperiences
